Trump transition not vetting Cabinet nominees with FBI www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Appreciative and horrified by @19thnews.bsky.social running tally of "sexual misconduct allegations against Trump’s picks" for cabinet/appointee-level positions. It's tempting (I feel this myself) to descend into "whadderyagonnado" and "whaddiyaexpect" about all of this, but we needn't.

Weeks after ProPublica reported on the deaths of two pregnant women whose miscarriages went untreated in Texas, state lawmakers have filed bills that would create new exceptions to the state’s strict abortion laws, broadening doctors’ ability to intervene when their patients face health risks.

Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social !!! Practical steps we can legally take is what we all need.

Yes! I'll believe it when they take action, but this is a start... G20 Leaders Reach 'Landmark Commitment' for Global Tax on Ultrarich "Now is the time to turn words into action and launch an inclusive international negotiation, extending beyond G20 ... www.commondreams.org/news/global-...

Next time, can we try a Speaker who isn’t eagerly awaiting the rapture?

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

Yes indeed

"It's almost as if this is now a requirement on your resume you have to have a sexual abuse or allegation against you."

They need to take a strong stand against her tyranny.

Ron is correct. If you are terrified of the man you are supposed to be aggressively covering, retire. That television slot can be taken by someone with a spine.

Good grief!

Rep Jasmine Crockett bringing the fire.

BREAKING NEWS: The Matt Gaetz file has officially been leaked: An “unknown and unauthorized third party” has gained access to depositions tied to Matt Gaetz, a source says. RT if you’re ready to see it. 🍿

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Yes, we are also paying attention to the deafening silence of the MSNBC contributors and frequent guests to this. Will be noted and not forgotten. www.meidasplus.com/p/goodbye-mo...

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.

UPDATE: The House Ethics Committee will meet Wednesday to discuss its ethics investigation report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz. Will Americans be able to read for themselves what it says about Trump’s pick for Attorney General? www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/t...

Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Never submit.

Of course he is… he wants to be part of the “cool crowd” he will be gone soon.

What I said on Morning Joe. (I found out about their trip to Mar a Lago just before I went on. It did not, as you can see, change my view.) www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/...

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

When Nikki Haley is mocking you for being a fraud and a sellout, that’s when you know it’s really bad because she’s an expert.

Whelp, we’re about to see what America has the stomach for. I don’t think it’s for this

1.2 Millions Americans died because of his negligence, while he was sending our lifesaving supplies to Putin.

The House Ethics Committee is meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to release their report on Matt Gaetz. This meeting, which had previously been cancelled, is now back on the books.

I find this hilarious.
